POSITRACTION: Youth Risks His Life to Crawl After Suicidal Woman

Youth Risks His Life to Crawl After Suicidal Woman and Talk Her Down
by McKinley Corbley - Aug 28, 20170

*** begin quote ***

A situation that could have ended in tragedy took an inspiring turn last weekend when a Good Samaritan risked his own life to comfort a suicidal woman and talk her down from the edge.

The woman was first spotted on Saturday afternoon crawling across a section of beams in the Broadway and Lafayette subway station. The beams, which were roughly 20 feet above the subway floor, made for a dangerous drop.

Klein then saw a young man start crawling across the beams to where the woman was sitting. When the youth finally reached the woman, he sat next to her, put his arm around her shoulder, and started talking to her quietly.

*** and ***

“He actually cared enough, whoever he was, to help her. A lot of people seemed to be like ‘Oh, it’s New York’, and kept walking,” Klein told CBS New York. “I don’t know what I would’ve done. I don’t think I would’ve climbed over to do that.”

*** end quote ***

“Greater love”?

Inspiring to see a youth do this. Makes him a man in my book.

And anonymously!

Special place in Heaven for him, I hope.

ENDNOTE: Why there is NO SUCH THING as "price gouging"!

2017-Sep-09

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jason-stapleton-program/id840193021?mt=2&i=1000391617239


Why there is NO SUCH THING as "price gouging"!

Listen to the first cut of Jason’s podcast aa he clearly explains that “gouging prices” ensure that there is supply for those who need it the most.

A displaced family might squeeze into one room at the “gouging” price as opposed to spreading out in two rooms at the regular price. Thus ensuring a room for another family.

Argh.

Simple law of economics at work to balance supply and demand.

Great explanation!!!
